"Loumienne was a great coach! I’ve never played tennis before but she explains things so well & made the lesson fun. I appreciate her asking me what level of intensity I’d want for the lesson.

"I’d say the lesson was quite helpful in refining my basic moves, though I still need to work on my footwork and reaction time. Angel’s focus on technique was great, and I appreciated the detailed feedback. I’m hoping future lessons will build on that foundation, but there’s clearly room to improve. Still, it’s definitely worth trying out if you’re into boxing and want honest instruction.
